Two Oce Arizona series printer models received the Specialty Graphic & Imaging Association (SGIA) Product of the Year Award. The honour, presented during the 2016 SGIA Expo, preceded the Oce Arizona 1280 XT’s recent recognition by Printing News in their 2016 Readers’ Choice Top Product Awards, in the Output Device: Wide-Format Flatbed Inkjet Printers 60,96cm (24-inches +) category.
The Oce Arizona series printers won in the following SGIA categories:
• SGIA 2016 Product of the Year for UV Flatbed + White: Oce Arizona 1280 GT.
• SGIA 2016 Product of the Year for UV Flatbed + White: Oce Arizona 2280 XT.
‘I am very proud of the Canon large format team,’ said Toyotsugu Kuwamura, executive vice president and general manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A. Inc. ‘Our equipment was compared to some of the best in the world; to come out as winners among such strong competition is a real honour. This achievement speaks to our commitment to advancing the large format industry and continuing to help our customers grow with best-in-class products.’
The 2016 SGIA competition judged submissions across 19 categories for output devices and 29 categories for non-output devices. Conducted during the 2016 SGIA Expo (Las Vegas, September 14-16, 2016), this year’s event was one of the largest in its history, with more than 23000 pre-registrants. The selection of the Océ Arizona 1280 GT and 2280 XT as Product of the Year winners marks the tenth year in a row that an Océ Arizona Series printer has been honoured with this award since the product line began shipping in 2007.
Presented during GRAPH EXPO, the Printing News Readers’ Choice Top Products Awards feature the innovative products that have caused the most excitement in the industry and have been a valuable asset to commercial print businesses over the last year. This year’s much-lauded recognition once again cements the importance of the Océ Arizona Series and its profound impact on the large format industry.
Launched earlier this year, the Océ Arizona 1200 Series was designed for print service providers (PSPs) that require superb print quality, application versatility and ease-of-use. The Océ Arizona 1240, 1260, and 1280 models continue to add substantial value to businesses in the sign and display industry, specialty print producers, reprographers and photo labs.
Also released in 2016, the Océ Arizona 2200 Series of UV flatbed printers was designed to address the demand for increased capacity and versatility without compromising on print quality. The Océ Arizona 2260 and 2280 enable PSPs to capitalise on new market opportunities and explore a wider range of applications.
